Chapter 207: Urgency
I don't know how long it took, Ning Xiao looked out of the car and found that he had already traveled in the canyon. Snow-capped mountains and forests are approaching. There are streams and rivers on the side of the highway, and many sections of the road are covered by vast forests and seas, and the highway passes through them. Driving is like driving in the deep green sea.
After this distance, white spots began to appear on the ground on both sides of the road, and no grass grew at all.
"When you get to the salt lake, do you want to go down and have a look?" Danchai, who was driving the car, made a voice and reminded his companions in the car.
"Oh," Ning Xiao thought for a moment and nodded in response. "Then let's go down and have a look!"
"Phew-" The car stopped.
All the passengers got off the bus. Ning Xiao was even more curious to pick up the white earth, gently touch it with his mouth, and taste it. It's a little astringent, but it's really salty.
So, she scavenged for the white dirt. Because it is an essential substance for human survival. Before the end of the world, Ning Zhongxiao used half of the space to hold this white salt grain. At that time, many people couldn't understand it, including Ning Xiao. After the end of the world, the salt he stored up did not play a big role.
The reason why Dad was able to gain a foothold in Qilian was that salt played a very important role. Lao Huang almost enshrined Ning Zhongxiao as a bodhisattva. Not to mention the common people, even the troops have to eat salt every day to survive!
"Danchai," the system is quite puzzled. He needs to find answers. "You say this is a salt lake. Why didn't I see the lake? ”
"Oh—" Danchai explained to him patiently. "Here, the concept of the lake needs to be expanded. For example, a lake with no water surface in sight, only salt crust. Some of the salt crusts are white, and some of them are covered with dust, and the white and black ones are lakes. ”
"They used to be rippling, but because of the subsidence of the basin and the closure of the surrounding mountains, the climate is dry, and the water that flows into the lake is not as good as the evaporated water, and the salt content of the lake is getting higher and higher, and finally, it even gradually dries up."
"Our car is passing by the Wanzhang Salt Bridge without a huge stone monument sign to remind you. Surely you won't know it either. Because it was a road made of salt, and it was paved with asphalt, it was not fundamentally different from the other sections, and there was no vast lake on either side, only dry land. ”
"But if you dig out a clod of dirt in these lakes covered with dust, you will find that the clod is a crystallization of salt. The voids between the crystals are filled with salt water. The white expanse on both sides of the highway that I just passed through was the product of the salt under the salt lake that rose with the water and the water left behind the salt. ”
"Oooh!" So, the system had to praise. "Danchai, I didn't expect it, you know so much!"
"Hehe," Danchai was a little shy. "You know, this is my native snowy region after all! If I don't understand it, I would be ashamed of it. ”
"Ahh In this regard, the system is going to express some emotion again. "No wonder Danchai can become a high-level zombie so quickly, it turns out that this closest place to heaven is actually your hometown. So, you have a much better sense of life and death than those who live on the plains. ”
"Venerable," not long after, Danchai came to Ning Xiao and said very sincerely. "A little further on, we can see a salt lake with real water. I've heard that the salt there will last billions of people for thousands of years. You see......"
"Oh," At this moment, Ning Xiao immediately stopped his crazy recruitment of the black and white soil. "Listen to you, get in the car, and we'll continue on our way."
The car started again, only this time in the direction of the east. Soon, the car came to the dam ridge.
When Ning Xiao was unprepared, a large blue lake that could not be seen suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Ah, it must be a salt lake!" The lake was rippling, the smoke was vast, Ning Xiao and the others couldn't help but exclaim,
I saw that the great lake was divided into several pieces by a road built with salt, and the battle shield of Kaibaihe followed the road in the middle of the lake to the hinterland of the salt lake. In the area where the shore comes into contact with the lake, there are salt flowers formed by crystallization from the lake. They come in a variety of shapes and colors, resembling corals and crystalline mineral crystal pillars.
The color of the lake water is also worth mentioning, due to the different types and contents of minerals contained in the lake, the lake water from the shore to the lake, the strips show different colors of light yellow, dark yellow, tender green, dark green, blue, and blue. The beauty of this changing water color is like a clean ocean.
Thus, people feel that this salt lake not only provides rich mineral resources, but also has ornamental value, which is not inferior to any scenic spot. It brings a refreshing and beautiful beauty.
Witnessing the salt lake, while enjoying the beauty, the soul of the person will be baptized and purified. White will possess everything and fill people's hearts, because whether it is the shore or the lake, it will eventually be a white world.
"Lord," Danchai said, pointing to the empty factory not far away. "That's the potash plant, the largest fertilizer production base in China. It's a pity that the end times are coming, and no matter how good the factory is, no one will come to work again. ”
"Don't worry," Ning Xiao patted Danchai's shoulder with a smile. "As long as you help guard this southwestern border of China, I can guarantee that it won't be long before someone from this potash fertilizer plant will come to work and continue to produce fertilizer."
"That's okay," Danchai didn't shy away from the question anymore. "But give me an official title. I want to justifiably guard this southwest gate for Huaxia Town. ”
"That's for sure," Ning Xiaoxi replied with a smile. "Rest assured, my family will be in charge of this grain base. The role of this potash plant, they will be very clear. When the potash plant reopens, you might even be able to cut the ribbon. ”
"That's not necessary," Danchai smiled on his stiff face. "Maybe by then, I'm too busy to get out."
"Not necessarily!" Ning Xiao was in a good mood, so he joked. "Don't forget, this is within your range."
In this way, the group left the rippling salt lake and drove on.
Soon, the road conditions became surprisingly good, and with the fact that there was no speed limit, everyone was in a happy and relaxed mood along the way.
At first, it was not bad, but then the clouds gradually thickened. Soon, the sun shines through the clouds and casts a golden yellow on the hillside, blending perfectly with the winding mountain road and the green wetlands not far away.
This is the freshwater lake with the largest water transparency in Huaxia Lake, and is known as the "Divine Lake". It is located between two snow-capped mountains. The shape of the lake is like a pear, wide in the north and narrow in the south, with an area of hundreds of square kilometers.
Approaching the lake, one can only feel the purity and turquoise nature of the water. Now, there's no need for Ning Xiao to taste it. The system sticks straight into the water with its own head.
He took a big sip of water before retracting his head, and then gave Ning Xiao a thumbs up: "The water is sweet and clean." Also, the water temperature is not too cool. It is suitable for us and other plants, and it is more suitable for human consumption. ”
"Well, that's great!" The smile on Ning Xiao's face also expanded. Next, she also ran to the lake, picked up a handful of water and poured it into her mouth. After swallowing the water, she echoed the system: "You are right, this water is suitable for human direct drinking." That's a big problem!"
The water of the lake is clear and clear, and against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, this sacred lake is like a piece of jade inlaid in the vast snowy area! Let everyone be amazed and praised non-stop.
When they came to the best vantage point of the lake, standing there and looking down at the entire lake, everyone was no longer as excited as before, and it seemed that they were almost dancing with their hands. In front of such a clear and deep lake, everyone suddenly became subtle and deep.
Ning Xiao has also enjoyed the ten thousand customs of the river, felt the natural purity of the mountain spring, and appreciated the magnificent atmosphere of the sea, and the vastness and purity of this sacred lake are better than any other! It is definitely a gift from God to those who have gone through the tribulations of the last days.
After lingering on the lakeside for a long time, everyone was reluctant to leave. Therefore, everyone decided to sleep by the lake at night, feel the change in the temperature of the lake, record the temperature difference between morning and evening, and do some relevant data work for the next step of a large number of people relocating over and establishing a grain base.
These guys, who seem to be beyond the scope of human beings, don't need any tools at all, they quickly come up with a series of numbers, and then log them in.
It wasn't until late that they went back to their lodgings to rest.
In the middle of the night, Ning Xiao had some urgency, so he got up from the bed and walked out of the tent. At this time, she felt that the scenery on the ground had become so clear.
When I looked up, I saw that a large chunk of the dark cloud seemed to have been gnawed off by the tengu, revealing a very clear piece of the sky. The moon is only half round, but it is so bright that people dare not look at it directly.
The moonlight shines on the sacred lake, like a fairyland on earth. She had never seen such a bright moonlight - in fact, the word "bright" was not enough to describe it, but she really couldn't find a better word to describe the moon at that time.
It is more beautiful and brighter than the bright sun, as if it can penetrate into the depths of people's hearts. The stars around them also became eclipsed by the great light of such a bright moon......
This moon alone is enough for people to forget the hardships of being in the last days, and to have enough confidence and courage for the future life. Because the shock brought by this sacred lake is enough to make many people remember it for a lifetime.
However, for Ning Xiao, the existence of the Divine Lake made her really relieved. After all, the purpose of her travel was finally achieved. Thinking about the distant man again, her face couldn't help but smile: I hope he is still there, waiting for her return.
It's just a pity that hope can never replace reality. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Days: The Fairy Wife Rampant Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
